Lily Allen has got her house keys back after complaining she faced being left 'homeless' because her Italian tenants were claiming diplomatic immunity.

The millionaire socialist took to Twitter on Monday to moan she was unable to move back into her £2million Notting Hill home and faced being homeless for Christmas.

But she was seen today having a set of keys handed to her through the window of a black Mercedes Benz in the pouring rain.

Yesterday tenant Maria Bilotta, 38, and her husband Luca told of their anger at being dragged into the dispute - as removal men carted all their possessions out of the property in west London, and into two waiting vans.

The mother-of-three told MailOnline: 'I'm very sorry I had her as a landlord because all this has happened.

'We are still living here today but we are leaving.'

After claiming she was going to be homeless for Christmas, removal men were pictured on Wednesday afternoon outside the Notting Hill property.

In the now-deleted message that started the furore, Miss Allen wrote: 'Meant to be moving back into my flat this week, but my tenants just dropped that they can't find anywhere to go up to their standards.

'Then they said they're diplomats and have diplomatic immunity and there's nothing I can do about it. So, who fancies a family of three for Xmas?'

Responding to the comments Mrs Bilotta said: 'I'm really astonished. I don't know why she did this. We are diplomats. But I don't want to make trouble to our embassy. This is so stupid. I can't believe this.'

Asked if she had anything more to add, she said: 'No because I would never sink so low.'

Her husband Luca Bilotta, who arrived home on a scooter with Italian diplomatic plates, said: 'We were moving out anyway.

'This is exposing ordinary people to the magnitude of six million people. Things are not supposed to work like that. I am not a public figure. It's not on.'

Mr Bilotta, who did not want to reveal his job, spent Wednesday co-ordinating removal men who ferried large cardboard boxes in and out of the property. 'I just want to be left to be boring,' he added.

Miss Allen, 32, bought the two-bedroom flat near Queen's Park station for £900,000 in 2008. It has an estimated rental value of up to £2,250 per month.

The year before her purchase she appeared on the BBC political show This Week, where she talked about money being a 'massive issue' and claimed she could not afford to buy a home in London. 'I've been doing what I do for a few years now, and I've been paid pretty well?...?but even I'm not in a position to buy a one-bedroom flat in the city I grew up in,' she said.

The millionaire singer later hit back on social media to those who accused her of hypocrisy, insisting she had 'no shame'.

Her plea comes after the mother-of-two – the daughter of actor Keith Allen and sister to Game of Thones star Alfie Allen – sold her £4.2million Cotswolds mansion last year after she was hit by a hefty tax bill.

Her tweet resulted in a flurry of angry responses from her followers, with one branding her a 'champagne socialist' and others starting a 'prayforLily' hashtag.

One wrote: 'Just sing outside their front door, that'll get them shifted in under an hour.'

Twitter user Paul Watson commented: 'Why do you have paying tenants in your flat, Lily, when you could be housing Syrian refugees?'
